BALTIC: LITHUANIAN & LATVIAN

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Lithuanian
Lithuanian is one of the two surviving languages of the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family, primarily spoken in Lithuania and among Lithuanian communities worldwide. Renowned for its archaic features, it preserves many elements of Proto-Indo-European, making it a valuable resource for linguistic studies. It is written in the Latin alphabet and has a rich literary tradition dating back to the 16th century. Lithuanian is the official language of Lithuania and an official language of the European Union, playing a central role in the nation's cultural identity.

Latvian
Latvian is a member of the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family, mainly spoken in Latvia, where it holds official status. It shares a close historical relationship with Lithuanian, although the two languages are not mutually intelligible. Latvian has evolved significantly over the centuries, influenced by neighboring languages, which have shaped its vocabulary and grammar and is written in the Latin alphabet. As an official language of the European Union, Latvian plays a key role in preserving the cultural heritage and identity of the Latvian people.
